LGBT+ History Month OERs

LGBT+ Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans + History Month

February is LGBT+ History Month in the UK each year with the overall aim to promote equality and diversity for the benefit of the public. This is done by:

  1. Increasing the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT+”) people, their history, lives and their experiences in the curriculum and culture of educational and other institutions, and the wider community;
  2. Raising awareness and advancing education on matters affecting the LGBT+ community;
  3. Working to make educational and other institutions safe spaces for all LGBT+ communities; and
  4. Promoting the welfare of LGBT+ people, by ensuring that the education system recognises and enables LGBT+ people to achieve their full potential, so they contribute fully to society and lead fulfilled lives, thus benefiting society as a whole.

 

We’re proud to have some sincerely excellent open educational resources in our collections that focus on and educate about LGBT+ history here in the UK.
